Listen to the Sun. June 11, 2017 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the transition of Namibian revolutionary leader Andimba Toivo ya Toivo, the founder of the Southwest Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) and former political prisoner; there has been a conference in Cuba to discuss African solidarity with the Caribbean socialist state; South Africa has been described as the continent's only real economy; and an article published by the Zimbabwe Sunday Mail has analyzed the role of President Robert Mugabe in the struggle for African unity. During the second hour we look back at the life, times and contributions of SWAPO Party founder Andima Toivo ya Toivo through tributes to his life as well as a documentary on the history of Namibia. Finally June is Black Music Month and we look at the meteroic rise of Rhythm and Blues artist Otis Redding.
